From plan to practice: A qualitative study of public mental health therapists' session-planning practices.
Article in Psychological services, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Therapists must dedicate considerable time to session plan to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) flexibly and with fidelity. It is unclear whether public mental health settings offer the structural and organizational support for therapists to engage in session planning and, therefore, whether they provide the necessary infrastructure for EBP implementation. In Fall 2022, 18 therapists working in public mental health settings in New York City were recruited through snowball sampling to participate in 90-min semistructured qualitative interviews. Therapists were prompted to review their session-planning practices using a chart-stimulated recall strategy; to describe structural, organizational, and individual barriers and facilitators to session planning; and to generate recommendations to support their session planning. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. A diverse group of therapists participated in the study-22% identified as Black; 22% as Asian; and 11% as Hispanic/Latinx. Seventy-eight percent of therapists were social workers; and they had on average 6.18 (
